               placed  in  Amritsar  on  June  1 .  On  June  3 ,  1984  Indira  Gandhi
               ordered Operation Blue Star, an army assault on Harimandar Sahib.
               On  the  night  of  June  5-6  Golden  Temple  complex  and  40  other

               Gurdwaras were attacked killing thousands of innocent Sikhs - men,
               women and children. Tanks and cannons were used. Akal Takhat was

               completely  destroyed.  Artifacts  were  burnt  in  the  library  at
               Harimandar Sahib.


               Sant Bhindranwale did not survive the operation. He was a selfless

               servant of the Khalsa. He was an example of the true Khalsa, who

               lived for Truth and died fighting for Truth.
